Property Taxes are paid to and collected by the County Treasurer. Fayette County property tax statements are mailed once a year, usually during the first week of August.

The taxes are split into two equal payments payable on or before September 30 and March 31.

Property taxes are based on several factors including the assessed value of the property as determined by the Assessor and the operating budgets of the various taxing bodies. Taxing bodies include school districts, cities, county, townships, assessor, area community colleges, and the county extension service. The Iowa Department of Agriculture also receives property taxes to help fund the Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Eradication Program.  Each property tax statement lists the separate taxing bodies and shows how much of your tax each body receives. For an overview of the property tax process, visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website here.

There are various programs available that may reduce your property taxes.  Some
of the programs are implemented through the assessor's office. For a list of the programs, visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website here.
